Nice job Darkmouse. I'll be looking forward to your "idiots guide" because when it comes to electronics I'm clueless.
X2, and Leo owes you a free board when you post that, as your essentially writing the un-offical instruction manual for his product! Only thing I have against his board, is that with his forums shut down, instructions are hard to come by.
Of course there are lots of threads and helpful forum members, but the issue is that everyone comes in with a different level of experience, so the questions and answers are all over the place. For a green-horn without an electrical engineering background, it's quite daunting.
